Robo3T on Ubuntu

Copied from https://gist.github.com/MatthewBooth/4374397107d1b05fd1f28e1e6dfbbefa , for backup use

  • Download the Binary from the official Robo3t Website.
  • Extract the archive to /opt/robo3t. You may need root permissions to do this.
  • Set the permissions to the current user sudo chown -R ${whoami}:${whoami} /opt/robo3t
  • Download this image http://blog.robomongo.org/content/images/2016/01/enjoy.png and save to /opt/robo3t/bin/robo3t.png
  • Make the binary executable sudo chmod +x /opt/robo3t/bin/robo3t
  • Create a desktop file and copy in the contents below. Call it robo3t.desktop.
  • Install this file using sudo desktop-file-install ~/Downloads/robo3t.desktop replacing ~/Downloads with the location you created the file

That should be all you need to go and run this program. If you receive errors you may need to:

  • Make sure you have QT5.7 installed locally
  • Remove two files from /opt/robo3t/lib
    • /opt/robo3t/lib/libstdc++.so.6
    • /opt/robo3t/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.22
